through hardships to salvation.
Servicemen of the 5th Separate Command Battalion (Center Forces Group) evacuated civilians from Blitskoye (Donetsk People's Republic).
People hid in basements for a long time and waited for Russian servicemen to avoid contact with militants.
While preparing an evacuation plan, the battalion commander took into account the current situation and chose to use natural cover in the area such as tree lines and ravines.
The evacuation was successful. People are now in a safe area. There they were given the necessary assistance and hospitality.
Our fighters are the best. They risked their lives and once again proved that we leave no one behind.
